Today, a supermajority of @Defenders staff announced the formation of our union, #DefendersUnited. We want to work with management to create a stronger, more equitable, and more effective organization. Unfortunately, @JClarkPrez took only 3 hours to reject our request outright.

"The National Labor Relations Act ... said what we should encourage unions..." and "there should be no intimidation, no coercion, no threats, no anti-union propaganda [from employers]." We couldn't agree more. We stand with: @BAmazonUnion @AlabamaAFLCIO @RWDSU
Workers in Alabama – and all across America – are voting on whether to organize a union in their workplace. It’s a vitally important choice – one that should be made without intimidation or threats by employers. Every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union.

YOU LOVE TO SEE IT! Congrats @UnionDCSAFE! Some bad ass DV advocates right here.
🎉 It's official! 🎉 With 90% of staff voting in favor, WE WON OUR UNION ELECTION TODAY! We'll be taking some time to celebrate, reflect, and refuel, but we'll be back in a few short weeks as our staff bargain for higher wages, transparency & better working conditions!

90% of employees at DC SAFE, a domestic violence crisis intervention center, voted YES on their union. They’re joining @OPEIULocal2 and OPEIU’s Nonprofit Employees United. This was a hard-caught victory!

When a boss forces a representation hearing, it means they want to argue that some workers don’t have the right unionize. It’s union busting, plain and simple. Shame on @LoriTFreeman! Time to recognize ALL her workers right to join @NacchoUnion!! #UnionStrong
📢 breaking news 📢 NACCHO CEO @LoriTFreeman is trying her hardest to bust our union! Today, we're headed to a hearing at the Trump NLRB where NACCHO management is trying to exclude nearly 60% of eligible staff from our union. Yeah, you read that right! More →

TFW you organize for months (during a pandemic and a historic election cycle), and you finally file for voluntary recognition 👀 #WeAreEMILYsUnion

We are so excited for @AcctStaffUnion and hope @CCTrustees management promptly recognizes them! #1u
Replying to @AcctStaffUnion
Given our culture of mission-driven work and the history of unions at many community colleges, we believe voluntary recognition to be ideally suited for ACCT and look forward to receiving a positive response from management by December 16!

NACCHO staff help ensure health departments are prepared for pandemics, effectively address systemic health equity issues, and more. They’re asking for a seat at the table—join us in signing their petition! —>

We're organizing because we don't want to sacrifice our rights for a company's mission. We can empower and protect ourselves while still carrying out the important work of our organization - and we're unionizing to codify processes for doing so. We stand with you @UnionDcsafe!
Nonprofit employees are so often told to put their well-being behind the mission. Let’s be clear, THIS IS A FALSE CHOICE. You deserve respect, a living wage, and boundaries no matter what the work you do

We cannot preach financial freedom, respect, boundaries, and empowerment to the survivors we work with when we ourselves do not hold these same values within our own agencies. Thank you Amanda ✊💥
Direct action does indeed get the goods.
Our biggest demand has been met! This fight is not over for us. The staff at PPPA is committed to fighting white supremacy in our workplace. Stay tuned tomorrow for more news!
